PoE Lightning Conduit builds

I have been testing out The Hidden Blade and I think there is a lot of hidden (hehe) potential with it, and I want to throw out what I've learnt and some ideas for theorycrafting. Firstly, I want to clarify a few things about Unseen Strike (which is the unique skill from the Hidden Blade), since the wiki has a few major inaccuracies. The wiki states that "If using 2 weapons, it will alternate between each weapon every time you gain phasing". This is wrong, Unseen Strike only ever uses the weapo

PoB: Theorycrafted this as a potential second or third build for this league. There are a collection of core concepts that I'm fusing together: 1. Indigon with a lot of mana spent is a large damage increase, but hard to sustain. 2. If I'm stacking mana for Indigon, it needs to also be doing something else to be valuable 3. Eldritch Battery provides a lot of effective mana regen in the form of energy shield recharge. 4. Arcane cloak spends mana, but does not cost mana, meaning it affects indigon in spite of Eldritch Battery. 5. If I'm relying on Eldritch Batt

Mageblood is out of the question. Debating on ditching some gear and getting my spell suppression cap. I'm having a blast so far, but its a bit squishy at times (I figured it would be). I have 20 Divines to burn.

Joined a league private, pretty much ssf, trying elementalist. It feels really bad in terms of defense, what can I do for make it more tanky? or is just elementalist a low defense ascendancy?

My current POB says my lightning conduit elementalist has 14M against pinnacle bosses. Here is my POB I definitely know in game damage will be different than sheet damage but I feel like I'm doing no where near that damage with even T16 bosses or few of the essence rares. Wonder if my POB configuration is incorrect or it's just how this build really is. Wrath will boost my damage a lot but I don't have enough sockets to fit wrath + divine blessing. Don't have currency for a enlighten 4 and replace herald of thunder.

Hey hey Gave LC a go a month into the league and loved it. I decided I want to make my own version of the build and so I started to mix and match tech I liked from different builds. This is my first time actually designing a build myself (as in not following a specific guide). And this is where I currently stand: When designing the build there were a few goals I was aiming for. I really wanted this build to be a good all-arounder and I feel like in the current state it's pretty good. I also wanted it to have good defens

&x200B; so first off this is my build. Feels pretty strong/tanky (well as much as elementalist can be). I've had my fun with it, recently incorporated divine flesh etc. Any ways to improve let me know. Side note that once I got the 2 rings+amulet that have rarity, I feel like the loot I got actually went DOWN which was weird. I also want to say that Annihilating light was incredibly annoying to work with (with the 60% reduce ele). I was constantly trying to rejig my resists on upgrades and so on and it was no easy task to

POB: This build was put together by dropping a 17 divine jewel off of exarch, then buying some nessessary uniques, neg light res rings + castspeed rings and some (cluster)jewelsI didnt level gems except conduit fully, also I did not do UberLab yet (cause this build is the definition of glass cannon and cannot run maps in its state)The build would greatly pair with a smite aurabot cause it mainly scales off of the stupid more multiplier of lightining conduit. Cost breakdown: 6div Doryanis Prototype 1div Badge of the brotherh

PLAYSTYLE < For clear you put down your shocking skill(probably either Wave of Conviction or Orb of Storms) then use Conduit to kill as much of the screen as possible. This means it's a 2-button skill like Desecrate + DD and ED + Contagion, if you don't like that beware. For bossing you press your Wrath Divine Blessing and Curse on the boss, then you either use Orb of Storms or Storm Brand to keep shocking the boss while you spam Conduit. On the full endgame setup you can press focus as well for a nice dps boost. LEVELING < Since Witch doesn't get Onslaught or Pierce, there's 2 w

Been wanting to do this build for the last league or so but could not think in a nice way to do it. Finally i reached a point where the build is functional and here it is for u guys. Stampede is incredible for cycloning around like a trainwreck, arc make clear feels butter smooth. A work in progress but feels really nice to play &amp;x200B;

This league I decided to play only one build due to loot changes and general constraints of time in my personal life. I was hyped about Lightning Conduit from the reveal and put something together on pob. I would love to hear some feedback on this character as its the first character where I crafted each piece of gear myself (particularly happy with my chestpiece though I would have liked Power Charge on Crit from my slam). I avoided a lot of really expensive upgrades (like triple mod watcher's eyes and some awakened gems) but I think I've struck a great balance between power/defense and $$$.

So this is a build i made since i wanted to put energy blade to use since it was introduced into the game. The core idea seems functional, but i stumbled upon some problems: 1-i move too slow 2- reappling shock and low shocks in bosses(leveling the gems might solve this though) The next upgrades are strightforward but ideas about the mechanics are welcome. &amp;x200B;

PoB: Basic functionality: 6-link Orb of Storms (just trying out item rarity at the moment), LC in Crest of Desire, Doryani's to bring the lightning res down. Highlights: capped spell suppression, capped chaos res, 7,7M DPS agains non-uber enemies. Problems: armor is way too low, and I have no way of mitigating certain lightning damage one-shots (auras, degens). I tried to switch to Mahuxotl's Machinations, but I discovered that the other side of that trick, Tempered by War from Lethal Pride, also reduces negative lightning resi

Upgraded build from 1m dps to 4.4m dps (by pob estimations, carefully checked in config that i dont have random bonuses eg i have source of inspiration, but cannot get charge due to eldrich battery) and barelly see any difference on same map i running. Id say improvement is 20% at best Edit: My pob
